The FBI and our great partners have arrested Xu Zewei - a PRC national and state-sponsored hacker - allegedly responsible for a massive cyber intrusion campaign in 2020 and 2021 stealing COVID-19 research from American institutions.
Xu has been extradited to the U.S. out of Italy as of this weekend, and he will now face federal charges.
During 2020 and 2021, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Xu and his co-conspirators allegedly targeted and hacked U.S. based universities, immunologists, and virologists conducting COVID-19 research - including key treatment and vaccines - accessing email accounts and more.
Xu was also allegedly a key contractor part of what’s known as HAFNIUM, a group responsible for a massive cyber intrusion campaign (directed by PRC officials) that compromised nearly 13,000 U.S. organizations.
This case is a historic win for our cybersecurity efforts under President Trump, bringing bad actors who target American infrastructure to justice no matter where they try to hide.
A huge thank you to our partners in Italy, including Prefect Vittorio Pisani of the Italian National Police, who worked with us nonstop in this investigation - getting Xu in custody, extraditing him, and conducting an FTOC with FBI personnel." Kash

Great question Du Du. I ask myself the same question. Why would psychopaths hate so much they want to kill someone they disagree with?
